Howdy all I am a regular in the Chainsaw forum but this is not a saw question, so I will try a post here. If there is a better place for this to be posted just say so and I will. I have a 10 hp Coleman / Briggs and Stratton generator and that always starts hard.
I should say it sits for 3-4 months at a time full of ethanol /stabilized/ treated fuel. The plug is brand new, but every time I want to start it after I pull it choked 20 plus times and no pop, I end up having to dribble a little fuel into the engine.
I pull the plug which is ever so slightly damp , dribble in 15-20 drops of gas and she starts right up then runs great. Why do I have to add gas this way each time? I think I have come to the conclusion that maybe I should just start out with adding gas to begin with. It would be easier I think I was just wondering what the issue is?
